Cairde is delighted that migrant women voices were included in the National Women’s Council of Ireland (NWCI)’ new report ‘Out of Silence, women’s mental health in their own words’. The report documents the specific mental health needs of women and girls in Ireland and highlights necessary steps to prioritise prevention and provision of services going forward.

Cairde shared with NWCI data from our own focus group research on mental health in Ireland. This included four separate focus groups with women from African, Roma, Muslim, and Eastern European backgrounds.
